Hardly Working: Charleston Chew

By Streeter Seidell

INT. SOUL-SUCKING OFFICE
Streeter is in a high pressure meeting with Sam and Paul.
Sam is finishing up a presentation.
SAM
...and if the majority shareholder
abstains from the vote, we'll be
able to take control of the
company.
Streeter sees Pat doing Devil Sticks outside of the office.
He's entranced and distracted. Obviously.
PAUL
This is a massive, risky gamble,
Sam. Streeter, what did that report
I gave you say about our investment
fund?
STREETER
Uhh...
CU on Streeter, stammering, confused.
VO
Need nine hours?
Streeter pulls out a full size Charleston Chew and takes a
labored bite.
STREETER
Well, uh...the report said...
He takes another bite. Winces in pain and holds his teeth.
This goes on forever. Taking bites, mumbling, pulling taffy,
etc.
CUT TO
It's dark now, Streeter is still chewing. He's halfway done
with the candy bar.
PAUL
Now that I think about it, Sam, we
just can't take the risk.
SAM
Completely understandable. But
since that frees up some money,
could we discuss getting our
writers health insurance?
Beat.
Paul pulls out a Charleston Chew.
PAUL
Fuck no.
He takes a bite.
